11538 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 51 / Thursday, March 15, 2018 / Notices 

This is the first Respiratory Health 

Agenda, developed for the third decade 

of NORA (2016–2026). It was developed 

considering new information about 

injuries and illnesses, the state of the 

science, and the probability that new 

information and approaches will make a 

difference. As the steward of the NORA 

process, NIOSH invites comments on 

the draft National Occupational 

Research Agenda for Respiratory 

Health. Comments expressing support 

or with specific recommendations to 

improve the Agenda are requested. A 

copy of the draft Agenda is available at 

https://www.regulations.gov (see Docket 

Number CDC–2018–0024).
